At Hotz IT, we help businesses fix what’s broken and build what’s missing.
When you’re stuck, scaling, or struggling to turn plans into working systems, we step in. We don’t just recommend solutions — we roll up our sleeves, work alongside your team, and get it done.
With 25+ years of experience in software, automation, and delivery, we help small and mid-sized teams do more — without burning out or overhiring.
- We solve problems before they become crises.
- We integrate seamlessly with your team, not over it.
- We make technology work for people, not the other way around.
Optimizing, Scaling, and Strengthening
Your Technology Operations
When you need executive-level technical guidance without the overhead of a
full-time hire, our fractional CTO/VP and senior engineer services give you instant access to expertise. We focus on aligning your technology with business outcomes — designing scalable systems, guiding product roadmaps, and ensuring your team executes efficiently.
Manual processes drain productivity. We build custom automations that connect systems, streamline workflows, and remove repetitive tasks. From ETL pipelines to RPA integrations, our solutions deliver measurable time savings — often reducing workloads by 50–95% — and allow your team to focus on growth, not grunt work.
Sometimes you don’t need a consultant — you need more hands on deck. Through our partnership with Team 360 Staffing, we provide vetted, English-speaking developers, analysts, and technical specialists from Latin America who integrate seamlessly with your team. Whether you need to scale quickly for a project or fill skill gaps long term, our team extension model delivers the right talent without the delays or costs of traditional hiring.
We start by understanding your goals, challenges, and team dynamic.
We design a clear, actionable plan to solve your problems and scale your capabilities.
From plan to production, we implement the solution and ensure it delivers results.
From plan to production, we’ll get it done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got the answers
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Mostly small to mid-sized companies that are growing quickly or struggling to keep up. If your team is stretched thin or your systems feel clunky, we can probably help.
How soon can we start?
Most projects begin within 1–2 weeks of our first conversation. Timelines vary by engagement:
- Automation projects typically start within about a week
- Urgent project may begin within 24–48 hours (expedited service rates apply)
- Staff augmentation usually takes 3–5 weeks for individual roles, and longer when building larger teams (e.g., 10–20 hires)
Do I need a technical background to work with you?
No. We explain options clearly and only recommend what fits. You can be as hands-on (or hands-off) as you like.
What if I already have a dev team?
Great. We often support internal teams when they’re busy or blocked. We respect what your people have built and work with them to make it even better.
What industries do you specialize in?
We’re cross-industry problem solvers with deep experience in multi-tenant cloud SaaS, professional services, and data-driven operations.
What does success look like?
Your team saves time, the work gets easier, and your systems do more less — consistently.
How do you charge?
Flexible pricing: hourly, project-based, or monthly retainers — whichever best matches the work.
Is there a minimum project size?
We’re flexible. Engagements have ranged from short assessments and quick audits to multi-year partnerships. If the fit is right, we’ll scope the work to match your needs.
Do you offer retainers?
Yes. Many clients prefer a steady monthly plan for ongoing improvements and fast response.
What are your payment terms?
Simple, transparent billing—typically invoiced monthly or by milestone for fixed-fee projects.
What if we’re not sure of the exact scope yet?
That’s normal. We can start with a short discovery or assessment phase to clarify priorities, budget, and impact before committing to a larger project.
How do we stay in touch during a project?
Whatever keeps things moving: Slack, email, or Zoom — plus regular check-ins so you always know what’s happening.
What if something changes mid-project?
No problem. We’ll talk it through, adjust scope or approach, and keep momentum.
Do you offer training or documentation?
Yes. We ensure your team can use what we’ve built and has clear docs. We don’t disappear afterward.
Will I be working directly with Chris?
In many cases, yes. If not, you’ll work with someone Chris has personally vetted and holds to the same standard.
How do you make sure the solution actually works for us?
We build in milestones, real-world testing, and client feedback loops so the solution fits your environment—not just a generic template.
Do you stay involved after delivery?
Yes. We make sure your team is confident using the solution, and we’re available for ongoing support or adjustments
How do you measure ROI?
We track time savings, cost reductions, and efficiency improvements tied directly to your goals. Typical outcomes include 30–70% time savings, smoother client onboarding, and major reductions in manual effort — with some projects achieving even greater impact (up to 95%).
No long proposals. No endless discovery calls. Just a focused conversation to see how we can help you move forward.
